E J Johnson

I was digging out Huriah Boynton sides to help Red Kelly with his latest case over on Soul Detective. One of the sides I dug out was Huriah Boynton's 1991 CD Uniquely Huriah. I must be honest and admit that I had totally forgotten that E.J. Johnson, the lead singer of Enchantment had helped him out Huriah on this CD.

E.J. Johnson is one of my favourite singers and I love his work with Enchantment over the years for Polydor, UA and Columbia. One of the best CDs of the Millennium is his Totally With Me which is still available from CD Baby:

E.J. Johnson is the golden voice behind the super R&B group Enchantment. Among many, he brought you such classics as “Gloria,” “Sunshine,” Where Do We Go From Here” to name a few. In addition to his R&B endeavors, the dynamic singer has deep roots in gospel music, producing and writing songs for the great Shirley Caesar and others. And in the tradition of good music, E.J. Johnson presents you with another jewel.

E.J. Johnson last brought down the house with a soul stirring rendition of his gospel classic "God Is Good." Now the man with the golden voice is electrifying audiences everywhere as he becomes the Universal Man of praise. E.J. Johnson is the dynamic lead singer of the legendary singing group Enchantment with number one hit songs to his credit such as "Gloria," "Sunshine," "It's You That I Need," to name a few. With all his services, this talented singer/songwriter has always put God first in his life. For the past 34 years, he has served faithfully as the minister of music, praise leader and choir director at Hebron Church of Truth. Forming his gospel group The Love Chorale in the early 1970's, E.J. says, "if you're wondering what's come over me, don't worry...I'm just praising G.O.D. This is my Universal Praise!"
